I was wondering what your first flight was in and how you felt – sick or elated? Mine was in an Auster at an Open Day at RAF Wroughton, Wiltshire in September 1960, but I was too young to remember the exact date and didn’t record the registration letters. It was in pouring rain and very bumpy, so you can imagine I was pretty scared. 😮 The Auster was all silver, as I recall, but I wonder if anyone knows which one it was, or even provide a check-list for that day? There were lots of Luftwaffe aircraft in the hangars that are now in the RAF Museum and elsewhere.
